Where
The project will span approximately 3,200 linear feet, starting on
Contact
Seven Locks Road several hundred feet south of the intersection
with River Road, continuing north through that intersection, then Timothy Brooks
west onto River Road until its intersection with the Cabin John Contract Manager, Systems

at the western terminus, where it will run north from River Road to Timothy.Brooks@WSSCwater.com
connect with an existing sewer adjacent to the Cabin John Creek.
This route is a revision to the original plan for the project, which
called for the sewer to be installed immediately adjacent to the More Information
Cabin John Creek in the wooded area to the south of River Road www.cabinjohnsewerproject.com
in this location.

Why
The project is necessary to provide additional capacity to handle
wastewater from current and future development and
redevelopment, including Pike & Rose, within the Cabin John
basin. The project will also reduce the risk of sewer overflow events
in the basin during periods of heavy usage.

How
The project team will use a combination of trenching and
tunneling to install the new sewer beneath the roadways,
connecting with existing sewers on each end. Work will proceed in
phases starting at the southern end of the project on Seven Locks
Road and proceeding to the northern end on River Road. During
daytime construction, one lane of traffic in each direction will be
maintained. Because project work is largely confined to the
roadway, there will be minimal impact to existing trees. Any trees
that are impacted will be replaced as part of reforestation process
at the conclusion of the project. The project is expected to cost
approximately $14m and will be paid for by Federal Realty
Investment Trust, who will then be repaid by other users of the
system via the System Development Charge (SDC) Program. As
such, no taxpayer or ratepayer money will be used to fund the
project.
